Is He Doing Well?

Within Wu Yang Jin's Sea of Consciousness, the extra figure was Snow Empress. Anyone familiar with Douluo Continent should have known who Snow Empress was.

However, she had not revealed her true appearance during the awakening. Besides, the Martial Souls people awakened these days could be quite bizarre or extraordinarily powerful. She only needed to alter her form slightly when the time came.

"Mm, how should I put it? He was doing well. He found himself a good family."

"Really? He... still had such good luck, as always. I suppose that was to be expected of him?"

"Perhaps. But since you came here, were you prepared for this?"

"I was once one of the ferocious beasts humans called those of the Far North. If I did not possess even this much resolve, I would not be worthy of going there."

As she spoke, the woman named Snow Empress pointed upward, even though they were within the Sea of Consciousness.

But was that not strange? The woman named Snow Empress was no ordinary "person." This Snow Empress had once been ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts of Douluo Continent, an overlord of the Far North Core Circle. Yet why had someone like her descended into Wu Yang Jin's Sea of Consciousness?

Moreover, Snow Empress actually knew Old Long, and she seemed to know quite a lot about Wu Yang Jin. There was far, far too much behind all of this to uncover.

For Wu Yang Jin, the obvious clues on his body already allowed one to guess many things. Yet there were still many things about him that no one knew, things that were preparing to unfold one by one.

"By the way, you do not intend to say anything, do you?"

"Mm, let it stay like this. It is better for him and many others. Whether in heaven or on earth, all things in this world are the same. There is no need to say something at every moment. Sometimes, saying nothing is better."

"Is that so... It would be nice if that were truly the case."

"As someone who was once a ferocious beast, you need not worry too much. But neither can we let our guard down."

"Then... can we still see that?"

"Oh, easily. When necessary, I will tell him as well."

Back in reality, this was truly too much for the uncle to take in. First, he had witnessed a strange eye Martial Soul like the stars, one that resembled both a Body Martial Soul and an artifact Martial Soul. Then came that sudden, bone-piercing cold. He had no idea what sort of ice-element Martial Soul had awakened.

Though it was only a hunch, based on everything that had happened in such a short time, the uncle had already come to some conclusions.

"This... this child... Ah-choo!"

It had been far too cold just now. He had probably caught a cold. But that was not what mattered most. What mattered was the child's Martial Soul. With his many years of experience in this profession, the uncle could tell that this child was anything but ordinary. He felt that the child's Martial Souls might be one Ultimate Ice Martial Soul and another strange Martial Soul whose strengths he could not quite discern.

Just as the uncle felt, he believed that this child's two Martial Souls—though there were actually three—were absolutely extraordinary.

"Come to think of it, I really did find a treasure. Ha... I should be getting quite a bonus, right?"

He then looked at Wu Yang Jin before him. The uncle thought of his own younger days, but things had not gone as he wished, leaving him as he was now. Still, after meeting Wu Yang Jin, he felt that he needed to offer the boy some advice.

Wu Yang Jin was much the same. He had long known that he might be unusual, perhaps even someone who did not belong here. But he had never expected his Martial Soul awakening to turn out like this.

At first, it had felt as dazzling as a star-filled sky, and he had awakened a Martial Soul called Starry-Eyed Gaze. But afterward, he had felt as though he had lost consciousness. Countless frigid scenes had suddenly surfaced in his memories. Yet after regaining consciousness, he could sense that he had awakened a Second Martial Soul.

However, unlike when he had awakened his first Martial Soul, he had not been aware of it at the time. He would have to summon it later to find out. Still, he could vaguely sense the cold surroundings fading away, and the uncle before him looked like this as well.

"Um, are you all right?"

"Hm? Me? I'm fine. But you, child... don't you feel anything?"

"I don't feel anything. I'm not uncomfortable either."

"Is that so... Then... let's do this."

As he spoke, he rummaged around behind him for a while before pulling out a crystal ball.

"This is? A test..."

"That's right. This is used to test your Soul Power."

Wu Yang Jin thought about it. Old Long had told him many things, and he had learned quite a bit himself during this time. So he did not understand why they still used a crystal ball.

"Child, test your Soul Power first. Then... we'll talk."

As he spoke, the uncle handed over the crystal ball. Wu Yang Jin placed his hand on it as well. After the crystal ball gave off a faint glow, a number slowly appeared. The uncle was not surprised by the result. If anything, perhaps it could have been even higher?

"Mm, child, your talent seems both rare and excellent!"

The uncle patted Wu Yang Jin on the shoulder. That pat carried many emotions.

"Oh... oh!"

Wu Yang Jin became more alert from the pat as well.

"But my Innate Soul Power is actually Full Soul Power!"

"That's right, child. Your Innate Soul Power is Full Soul Power. And while I am not entirely sure about your two Martial Souls, they should both be exceptionally powerful."

"Exceptionally powerful Martial Souls?"

"That's right. There should be no mistake. I hope you achieve something great in the future."

"Oh, before you leave, could you release your Second Martial Soul once more?"

"Oh, all right."

As he spoke, Wu Yang Jin tried to activate his Martial Soul. Although he had not known about it earlier, he could still sense it and activate it. At the same time, the Second Martial Soul appeared. A pure white figure emerged once more. Only this time, there was none of that freezing cold. All that remained was a graceful figure and a face that could not be seen clearly.

This... really is shocking! the uncle thought.

Within the Sea of Consciousness...

"Mm, this is quite good. Just separate a small part as an avatar. Reveal your true form only when necessary, in case of accidents or powerful enemies."

"That's right. This is good for... him."

"Then... how should this old man put it... You still care about h—"

"I'm afraid I still cannot answer that."

"I see. Forget it, it's nothing."

Back in reality, the figure appeared once again. Wu Yang Jin was deeply shaken, and his heart trembled as well, because he could see her true appearance clearly. She was... truly beautiful! She might not have been the most beautiful in the world, but she was absolutely one of a kind!

"A Martial Soul like this? What should it be called?"

Shocked as he was, he still did not know what this Martial Soul should be called.

"Snow... Snow Enchantress!"

"Hm?"

"Oh?"

"Mm."

"Snow Enchantress?" the uncle asked.

"That's right. She looks like a Snow Woman, but she also feels very enchanting, so I'll call her Snow Enchantress!"

"I see... But you are so young, and you already know the word 'enchanting.' Well, I suppose that makes sense."

"Someone taught me."

"Oh? All right, then."

"Then, can I leave now?"

"Mm, but I want to give you some advice."

"Oh, please do."

"Child, remember this. In this world, being powerful may be a good thing, but you must remember that your strength will draw many different gazes. Often, they will not be only admiration and worship; there will also be jealousy and disgust. And among those gazes, you may attract some bad things.

"And those bad things... you may encounter them someday. Your Martial Souls should be very special. Though we are neither family nor friends, I hope you understand when to hide and when you must reveal them! At the same time, always keep an eye on the people around you. Take good care of them and help them well. Do not let them down or make them sad.

"I also hope you remember that you are important too. Do not always live for others. That does not mean you should not consider others. Lastly, I hope everything goes well for you. Do not become like those people in the river of time who made mistakes, missed their chances, and lived with regret!"

After hearing all that, Wu Yang Jin was indeed somewhat dazed, but he could also feel the uncle's sincerity. At the very least, he was not joking.

"Mm, you can leave now. There are still many people behind you. You mustn't keep them waiting too long."

"All right."

Wu Yang Jin then walked out.

"I see. Perhaps he is a good child. Today... I should have a good drink and a good meal!"

As he spoke, the uncle prepared to awaken the Martial Souls of those waiting behind.
